Kerstin started her career in the late 90s at UUNET in Wholesale and helped many ISPs to build up the Internet in Germany. After the dot-com bubble burst, she stayed true to telecommunications and worked at Interroute, Easynet, or QSC.

In 2009, she switched to the field of high security. At genua, she and her colleagues primarily served companies in the defense industry. Three years later, the technology enthusiast changed completely and started creating content for herself and others on a freelance basis.

Milestones were her own storage congress in Leipzig in 2019 and another in 2020, which, however, only took place virtually. In 2020, she also came up with the idea of publishing her own magazine. Initially, data://disrupted® was a German-language online storage journal. Since 2021, the platform has also reported on cloud computing and IT security.

The business economist earns her money with technical documentation and writing or translating blog and website texts for ICT companies and startups in the B2B sector.

Since 2005, she has been a reviewer for the business plans of startups in the Start2Grow network. Within the Open Source Business Alliance, she initiated the project “”German Cloud”” together with Thomas Uhl and Georg Klauser – a reference stack for an open source-based cloud infrastructure. As a fan of open source and open standards, she occasionally gives talks, e.g. on “”Business Models with Open Source””, technical marketing for startups, or “”80 Years of Cloud Computing””. For GigaOm, she published 2022 key criteria reports and market radars in networking and security.

Kerstin likes Seymour Cray mainframes, and large networks and is obsessed with next-generation firewalls. She lives with her husband, a cat, and a tomcat in the wasteland just before the German-Austrian border. Her dream is to emigrate to Eastern Europe someday, perhaps to Bohemia or the Balkans.
